Brown is a blocking tight end who will be fighting an uphill battle just to make the Jets' roster, though his case is helped by the fact that starter Chris Herndon will be suspended for the first four weeks of the season. With just 35 catches and one touchdown in 42 career NFL appearances, Brown is unlikely to have any impact in the fantasy realm. Read Past Outlooks

Brown caught one of two targets for eight yards in Thursday's 22-10 win over Atlanta in Week 2 of the Jets' preseason slate.

ANALYSISBrown's catch came on a second-half pass thrown by third-stringer Davis Webb, suggesting Brown remains little more than a depth option at the tight end position. Rookie Trevon Wesco had a touchdown called back on a penalty in this one and currently represents Brown's biggest competition for the No. 3 tight end spot behind Chris Herndon and Ryan Griffin.

This Week's Opposing Pass Defense

How does the Browns pass defense compare to other NFL teams this season?

The bars represents the team's percentile rank (based on QB Rating Against). The longer the bar, the better their pass defense is. The team and position group ratings only include players that are currently on the roster and not on injured reserve. The list of players in the table only includes defenders with at least 3 attempts against them.

Week 17 brings an abundance of developing situations in terms of injuries and playing time for both non-contending teams and those still gunning for the postseason. Juan Carlos Blanco guides you through the complex landscape heading into Sunday morning.

With a host of notable absences at key positions and one very important return from suspension, Week 16 offers no shortage of important fantasy headlines. Juan Carlos Blanco guides you through the injury landscape heading into a crucial Week 16.

Several notable receivers are questionable heading into Week 10, while a couple of running back injuries have also opened up opportunities. With plenty to digest, Juan Carlos Blanco guides you through who's trending to starting or sitting in Week 10.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2018

2017

Brown played a career-high 14 games for the Bears last year, though he saw just 242 offensive snaps while catching 13 passes for 129 yards. In four NFL seasons, he has a total of 317 yards and one touchdown, so he's yet to emerge as a consistent receiving threat. Since he was a contributor on special teams last year, he should make the roster while being no better than the Bears fourth tight end, and with the addition of Trey Burton to the roster, he'll struggle to see much opportunity to contribute as a receiver.

Once the Bears lost Zach Miller to a foot injury in Week 11 last year, the Bears turned to the 2015 undrafted free agent to take over as the primary receiving tight end. Unfortunately, Brown surpassed 24 yards just a single time in those six games, and sensing a need at tight end, Chicago signed Dion Sims to a free-agent deal before adding Adam Shaheen in the second round of the 2017 draft. With Brown returning on a one-year contract, he'll enter training camp near the bottom of the depth chart, where his roster spot may be in peril. Even if he sticks around, though, it's unlikely he'll see enough targets over the course of the season to be a reliable fantasy option.
